Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
We are perhaps going to be preparing and offering a big batch of high quality STDM cables for sale.
We would be happy if we can get some indication of how many of you would like to order and how many cables each.
The best price we can make is something like 20e per cable, with shipping already included. If you want a bunch, then we can make a better price maybe per cable.
Please note that it is likely going to be a one off batch, so if interested do tell

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
i might buy a couple. i would be hapy to send people who need one to you, from SC support.
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
I'd grab a few as well, 2-3 for my own reserve as I would appreciate the time saved, and maybe even a few backups to offer to forum members if needed in the future.
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Count me in for 4.
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Me too (3-4).
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
1-2 would be good.

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
As I'm an EE, I can build my own STDM cables, but I'd like to give some hints in case of troubles with STDM:
If you get errors in scope concering DSP communications, the cable might me the problem.
You could use contact-cleaner spray to clean the contacts inside the STDM-plug and the golden contacts on the PCI cards, too.
Afterwards you should clean with alcohol and let it dry completely.
In some cases, the manufactoring of the STDM-cable might be incomplete. The Plug consists of two parts, which are pressed together with the cable inside. You sometimes have to press the two pieces together once more to have contact inside the plug improve. ( The plug cuts through the isolation of the cable.)
If you own only two PCI cards, you should always use the plugs on the ends of the cable. It's even better to have only two plugs on such a cable.
( I cut the cable using scissors.)

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
And the reason for using the “ends” is similar to why BNC connections and old SCSI require termination: the ends of the cables won’t receive reflected interference that middle connections on in-terminated connections might. Ie, noise. Though I don’t know the frequencies at play with STDM this still seems sensible
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
ok guys!
parts for the test run have been ordered
anyone else interested please let us know! The size of the production run will depend on gauge of interest.

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
I'll probably have one or two
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Faxi, did you ask on facebook in the Scope group as well? And the French forums? (iirc, that's where the other bulk of our users are/were)

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
I'd like one or two as well. Guess some fresh cables might cure the occasional error...
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Any news on when they will be ready ?
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Lets say 2 months to be safe.
Still waiting on one component for the test run.
The engineer making them is really good and has lots of experience, they will be legit and we just want to make sure everything is tested and correct as to not disappoint anyone

Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
Count me in on the order.
Re: Ocean Swift STDM Cables possible production run
faxi - any news on the test run?
My home made STDM cables are so unreliable - once I actually get the connection working I have to leave the side off of my PC case and leave my PC running 24/7 otherwise the connection is lost and to get it working again is a nightmare
